Cutting Through The Crap

The (S)hits Just Keep On Comin'

My recent post comparing Bush's last-minute antics to a burgler crapping on the bed on his way out the door needs updating. It really is pretty awful: it's hard to see it as anything but a middle finger in the eye of the public -- particularly those librul earth-lovers.

It's as if, in a perverse sort of way, he feels liberated: the "permanent campaign" is over, his approval ratings are crap. Gone is pretense; no need to make up empty phrases like "compassionate conservative." So this is he, the real George Bush.

About a week ago, I heard Bush giving an interview in a voice I had never heard before. The "h's" weren't dropped, he spoke in paragraphs and with some degree of literacy in a Massachusetts voice! So, as you said, the pretending is over. The emperor does, indeed, have clothes and they aren't jeans and a cowboy hat. He did exactly what he meant to do over the last eight years: he took care of his own. He no longer needs to pretend to be the good ole boy from Crawford.

Watching his interview with Charlie Gibson made me want to vomit. How does this asshole believe he's leaving any sort of good legacy. We all know he's an imbecile, but surely even he's not so much of an idiot that he thinks 'history is going to look kind on him?" Rhetorical question. And Laura was just as bad. I used to think she had a brain. They're both scarecrows lame(duck)ly wandering the Yellow Brick Road.He's not gone yet. He can still do damage before Obama takes over.

Jeez, is "W" in your guy's heads or what?? Even a right wing zealot like me only mentions Barney Frank every few months or so, and thats only cause I heard him talk about his "Boyfriend" on a radio station I'm payin for with my %39.6 marginal tax rate dollars, and it made me throw up a little bit, and I was stuck in traffic (I Know, Bush's fault, rotting infrastructure and all) and even an OTC Zantac didn't help, probably cause its a company owned by one of Dick Cheney's buddies and its just relabled Vitamin C...

For The Sake of My Sanity

Some will know me from my other blog, "Surgeonsblog." Of late I've given over to frothing at the mouth as the world descends into stupidity, and our politics and our citizens seem, in numbers enough to be meaningful, unable to see it. So for now I'm leaving surgery writing behind, if for no other reason than to defuse and diffuse my unrelenting sense of doom, and with no expectation of making a difference. These are things that, to me, are obvious. Except that, apparently, they aren't.

RWS™: For those who drop by here in the middle, and wonder what it means: it's my shorthand for Right Wing Screamers, which includes such a long list it's tiresome to type it. (I distinguish these blowhards from thoughtful conservatives, of whom I sort of take it on faith that there must still be some.) You know who I mean: Palin, Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Breitbart (RIP), Malkin, Savage, Levin, Ingraham, Doocey (more of a drooler than a screamer), Hewitt, Goldberg, Gingrich, Kristol, Scarborough (+/-), Bachmann, Inhofe, Bond, Broun, Boehner, Kelley, Santorum, Cain. To name but a few. Behold them in their unrepentant disregard for reality: the RWS™

About Me

I'm a mostly retired general surgeon. With my surgical blog, my intention is to inform, entertain, and possibly educate the reader about surgery, and about the life and loves of a surgeon: this one, anyway. Don't know what I'm thinking, doing a political blog, too.
In an amazing coincidence, I've also written a book, "Cutting Remarks; Insights and Recollections of a Surgeon." It's about my surgical training in San Francisco in the 1970s, aimed at the lay reader with the goal of entertaining with good stories, informing with understandable details of surgical anatomy, procedures, and diseases. Knowing you, I bet you'd enjoy it. In fact, if you like Surgeonsblog, you'll absolutely love the book!
